Saracens cruise into LV=Cup semi-finals

Saracens joined Bath in the qualifying for the Anglo-Welsh Cup semi-finals with a round to play thanks to a 41-8 victory over Newcastle at Allianz Park on Sunday.

Saracens led 15-8 at the interval thanks to five penalties from scrum-half Ben Spencer while Newcastle wing Tom Catterick scored the only try of the first half.

But it was one-way traffic after the break.

Two tries from number eight Jackson Wray early in the second-half gave the hosts a comfortable lead before full-back Ben Ransom and replacement lock Tom Jubb (on his birthday) scored a try each in the last quarter to secure the bonus-point win and top spot in Pool 1.
